CLASS SONG
Tune of “Nancy Lee”
Four years ago we came to High,
    The Jolly class of Twenty-five.
No task too hard but what we'll try,
    The class of Twenty-five.
The four years passed, till now at last we go away,
O'er hill and lea, on land and sea, our paths may stray,
But ever in our minds will stay
The memory, of tasks we here begun.
All Hail!  All hail, the class of Twenty-five,
    The class of Twenty-Five, all hail.
All hail!  All hail, the class of Twenty-five,
    The class of Twenty-five, all hail.


A better class you ne'er can find,
    Than we, the class of Twenty-Five.
Our teachers words we keep in mind,
    The class of Twenty-five.
Our High School life is swiftly passing, soon we part;
And Mem'ries sweet, engraven deep, upon each heart,
We'll cherish ever, ceasing never, though apart,
The friendships here begun.
Farewell, farewell to thee, dear Jeannette High,
    Farewell, the class of Twenty-five.
Farewell, farewell to thee, dear Jeannette High,
    Farewell, the class of Twenty-five.
